Favourite Megan, this post is for you. I have been pondering what is considered “neutral” in style ever since this comment: “I think I like the sweater over top because it shows off your rockin body better than the blousy look and I think it is a better balance for your skinny jeans. But, take this with a grain of salt because I am your

Last week, I branched out in my second-hand shopping. Thanks to my date night last Friday night, I discovered the Hope Missions Bargain Shop, which just happened to be right around the corner from the restaurant we happened to go to! (see, it was meant to be!) It was a different shopping experience than VV Boutique – a little more like what you’d imagine a typical thrift

I blame my recent wardrobe acquisitions (I mean, since my personal challenge to find a whole thrifted ensemble for under $50) on: My favourite Megan. I will explain why in a future post. Intrigued??! (It will be awesome.) Banana Republic and their implanting the need for teal in my head via promotional emails. Ruche and their super cute super awesome pieces styled two ways. And

Though many people dread Daylight Savings Time, today happens to be one of my favourite days! An extra hour of waking time is wonderful! I had a long luxurious morning snuggle with each of my kids, made a dessert for my small group, baked breakfast muffins, checked my work email, browsed some style sites, had coffee – all before 7:30am!

Ever have one of those mornings that ought to go smoothly, but before you know it, you have a mountain of rejected outfits on your bed as you’re running out the door late for everything and you realize too late that you do not even have shoes for one kid? No? Just me. Sigh. You see, last night I tried on some summer-to-fall-transition ensembles and

After a week of solo parenting, concluding with the great 3-Day Potty Training adventure, I really needed some time with just me and VV Boutique.
